The authors analyze the tentative results of a multiprofile study, including a review of labor histories, examinations of pregnant women and parturients, measurements of fetoplacental hormones, study of the immunity status and microbiocenosis of the mothers and newborns, living in the first (up to 15 Ci/km2) and second (15 to 40 Ci/km2) zones of radioactive contamination. The detected shifts of a compensatory nature were found mostly in women living in the first zone.

Adolescent girls and young women ages 15-29 years (AGYW) living in Lesotho experience a disproportionate HIV burden. Using a household-based national survey in Lesotho, we conducted a three-step latent class analysis to identify typologies of AGYW most vulnerable to HIV infection.
